Electropolishing is a surface treatment by which the metal to be polished acts as an anode in an electrolytic cell, dissolving. With the application of current, a polarized film is formed on the metal surface under treatment, allowing the metal ions to diffuse through said film. The micro and macro projections, or high points of the rough surface, as well as areas with burrs, are areas of higher current density than the rest of the surface, and they dissolve at a higher speed, giving rise to a smoother surface. level and / or deburred. Simultaneously, and under controlled conditions of current intensity and temperature, a brightening of the surface takes place.

In alloys, such as stainless steel, there is also the additional advantage that, since iron is a metal that dissolves easily, the content of chromium and nickel on the surface is increased, thus increasing resistance to corrosion.
